| Summary |
"El paraíso perdido" by John Milton is an epic poem written in the 17th century. The work explores the biblical story of the Fall of Man, focusing on the characters of Adam and Eve, their temptation by Satan, and their subsequent expulsion from the Garden of Eden. The themes of free will, redemption, and the nature of good and evil are central to its narrative. The opening of the poem lays the groundwork for its grand themes and ambitious scope. It begins with an invocation of the Muse and an exploration of the reasons for mankind's fall from grace. Milton introduces key concepts of sin and redemption while hinting at the epic journey that lies ahead. The initial portion sets a serious and contemplative tone, suggesting that the poem will intertwine rich theological reflections with profound human experiences, creating an intense intellectual and emotional landscape.
